Gnome 46? And they won’t update it for at least another year?

Jeez, we’re almost at Gnome 50…

It’s also unclear if they’re comparing it to the cost of the index with or without the Lighthouses.

We’ll just have to wait and see.

• Laptop OEMs seem to go with fingerprint readers that have no Linux support.

• A number of distros out of the box have some IMO dumb things you need to change.

E.g. Fedora insisting on having their own Flatpak repository that isn’t as well-stocked or updated as Flathub, and missing audio/video codecs (I realise this is due to licensing concerns, but other distros get around it).

• I’d like Linux to feel more like an ecosystem. If I could sync my DE’s settings, installed apps, etc as trivially as I can sync my Firefox bookmarks/settings/extensions then I’d be happy. Frankly I’m amazed that Gnome and KDE haven’t attempted this.

Yes, I know I can manually and painstakingly do a lot of this with Syncthing. It’s not the same. It’s a lot more time/effort and you need the knowledge to set it up.

Because it’s more testing, more work, more resources spent, all for something that package maintainers will usually do for free anyway.

Been hearing this for years.

That said, with Linux market share growing, it makes more sense than ever before.

I really hope they aren’t fibbing this time.

Ah, the “you also participate in society” line.

I guess nobody should ever make any moral stand, ever, because living in the 21st century means you’ve indirectly supported evil by default.

Nobody mentioned child labour.

Thinking gay and trans people should have human rights does not mean you must be fine with child labour.

That’s probably because you’re a piece of shit.

Are you serious? Of course people should care if people are using their power and influence to strip certain people of their rights.

I don’t know how you could possibly look at Gnome and think they’re trying to be the same as every other OS.

They’re seemingly the only one with the balls to move away from the WinUX way of doing things.

One dev without any go-ahead from Gnome did.

And let’s not forget System76 employees, as well as System76 themselves, have done the exact same thing.

I’ve been using Wayland for years (2019), and I’ve not had any problems aside from Discord screen sharing, which was fixed a while back.

That’s on AMD hardware, mind.

Whenever I’ve used X11 since, it’s felt janky and not smooth. Random bugs, tearing, issues with multi monitor, issues with trackpads, etc.

Fedora is IBM.

Sure, Fedora has lots of ties to RedHat, but so?

Ubuntu is Canonical.

Between the two, I know which has done more for Linux and open standards, and I know which is more likely to send your data to Amazon and put ads in your start menu…

I don’t like System76’s past actions with regards to Gnome, or their spreading of misinformation about Gnome, but shitting on Cosmic in response seems just as petty.

If you don’t like it, don’t use it.

Debian has ancient packages. Frankly, it’s not the best suited for gaming, given how late performance optimisations come. Personally I’d like to have driver updates quite promptly.

If you’re going to use Debian for gaming, you should probably use the Steam Flatpak.

Yup.

Build PC

Activate Windows

Motherboard develops a fault

Get a refund/replacement

Install it

Windows is no longer activated, because they tied it to the motherboard…

but crazy to think the RX 580 released in 2017 and the 8GB version was ~$230 lol

Probably worth remembering that with inflation that’s ~$320 now, so about the level of a 9060 XT, which is also a pretty capable card.

Developers can do whatever the hell they like with their own software and shouldn’t let themselves be beholden to Nvidia.

Nvidia is being dragged kicking and screaming into using something that everyone else decided was the standard years ago, and that’s a good thing.

Some Lenovos.

Regardless, that’s not what this headline means. It means install it and everything works, with no need for installing custom modules and stuff like that.
